Ah right I should have figured we'd have some kind of ban against that. Lol. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I've always found oil paint nasty. Lol but then I guess the last time I dealt with it I was doing it in the middle of winter in Canada and couldn't open the windows. Oooh man did I get high from those fumes. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I'm considering painting the inside of the stand with marine paint, just to protect it all from the high humidity and inevitable spills. The problem I have is that I don't have a good spot to really do this, so I will likely need to do it in place, indoors. That means nasty fumes. The best...

The sand arrived. Factory packs unopened. Expires in 2018. All is in perfect condition. Great deal!! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I am only really using Autodesk because I eventually want to be able to make tool paths for metal cnc work. So you're right. It's what you're familiar with. :) Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Wow I'm sure they made no money on this sand - 100lb of sand, overnight ups for $5.... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I haven't tried sketchup in a long while myself. The last time I used it i had a hard time positioning things and resizing them later if I didn't get them right initially. Have they made that easier? So far Autodesk Fusion isn't too bad. I think.the biggest le as being curve for me is just...

I think I'm FINALLY getting the hang of things with AutoDesk Fusion 360. I started over and was able to dimension out a basic sump (albeit with the top bracing missing this time around), with a center divider in the sump this time, and the starting of some baffling into the right side...

I think any job like that is bound to get the people that just don't care. Lol. I remember when I was working at Wendys in high school someone served a completely raw hamburger. Just didn't care enough to even look. Lol Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I had leftover caribsea special reef grade in the past and it started to grow some mold after sitting for a couple years sealed up. I guess not surprising that the water could go nasty. We'll see how this stuff looks when I get it. I imagine worse case I can always rinse it.... and absolute...

Yikes, I REALLY need to watch more tutorials on using AutoDesk Fusion 360. I managed to model out a basic sump with a eurobrace. Took FOREVER.

I've tried a few types over the years. Back in 2005 with my 140g I used an aragonite that had loads of larger chunks mixed in. When I did my Solana years later I tried caribsea special reef grade which was much larger grains. I found it wasn't as nice looking and sifted just as much. My...

I'm going to add my bit to the skepticism side of things as well. I can't see how that it any more effective than just growing the macro in your sump. They also look to be using flexible strip LED lighting, which isn't really a very powerful source of light. When it comes down to it, this is...

...the actual life I expect to keep in the sand will come from my existing 34g tank though.

I didn't buy this as much because it is live sand, but because its the right grade of sand. I really like the super-fine sand and the crisp white look of the aragonite sand. In the past you could get aragonite sand at home depot in some areas, but I've never suceeded in finding it. Lol, Petco...

Okay, I CANNOT complain about that. $87.50 taxes and shipping included after a $15 online coupon for 100lb of Caribsea Bahamas oolite, shipped right to my door. BRS base price would have been $170, not including shipping.

Huh, okay then maybe I'll just take advantage of this amazing price. BRS wants $35 for 20lb. $17 for 20lb is a steal, and having it shipping right to my door rather than having to schlep down to the store sounds like a win.

Hmmm, yeah reading some of the reviews on their website: "Some bags were getting dry with algae visible. I returned those." So sounds like the stock can probably be old.

I am looking at using Caribsea Bahamas Oolite sand in my 90g tank. Everywhere I look its around $29-35 for 20lb. Petco (of all places) has a pretty good price listed of $17.99 for 20lb: http://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/dog-signage/caribsea-arag-alive-bahamas-oolite-aquarium-sand My...

Yes, huge kodus to Matt and his Dad; really friendly people, and a great asset to the club. Really enjoyed chatting with them during the tank move, and I definitely remember huge stash of corals they brought to the frag swap!
